Rafah Story: My hair fell out because of fear

Forced by Israel's continuous military operation since last October, over a million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have fled from the Rafah region. A little girl, Sama Tabeel fled amid the shrapnel and shells with her family, however, it has terrified her since the bombing began. Her hair has fallen out almost completely. The girl's parents spared no effort and took her to many doctors, but treatment is no longer available in Gaza due to the closure of the crossings.

In fact, many families like Sama's are living in fear, feeling the presence of ambulances and explosions around all the time. So far, 41,431 Palestinians have been killed and 95,818 injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza which began on October 7, 2023.
